How to grow red okra? It may be the first time that many of my friends have heard that there is red okra. Previously, okra was not a common vegetable variety, and only in recent years has it become more and more popular. Red okra, as the name suggests, is okra with a reddish skin, and its market price is quite substantial. Here is a brief overview of when to plant okra and how to cultivate it.

I, land preparation

Red okra has a developed root system with a long stretching depth, which is not too strict on soil requirements. Before sowing, the soil will be y turned about 25 centimeters, do a good job of the field, control the planting density of each row.

Then apply base fertilizer, base fertilizer is mainly decayed agricultural fertilizer, with the appropriate amount of compound fertilizer. According to different sowing area to control the sowing time, sowing, pay attention to the sowing density, because red okra likes light, planting too dense will affect the light absorption between plants, not conducive to growth.

2, timely sowing

There are many ways to sow red okra, mainly depending on the temperature and environment of the planting area. For example, in medium temperature areas, direct seeding is done around May, while in areas with lower temperatures, transplanting is required.

Before sowing, the seeds should be soaked in warm water at about 50 degrees for about 25 hours, and then the seeds should be placed in a temperature of about 28 degrees to accelerate germination. Seeds can be sown under white conditions. The sowing method usually used is to put 3 seeds in each sowing hole, and do a good job of water and fertilizer management to promote seed germination and seedling emergence.

3, fertilizer and water management

Red okra has a long fruiting period, high yield, so the nutrition required is relatively more. Plants in the application of adequate bottom fertilizer at the same time, in the red okra reproductive period also carried out a number of fertilizer. For example, the first fertilizer work should be started after the seedlings are slowed down, and the fertilizer should be watered in time after the fertilizer is applied, and the fertilizer should be diluted to promote the nutrient absorption of the seedlings. Red okra into the productive period and then fertilizer, to promote plant growth, improve the efficiency of harvest. The main fertilizer is phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, the purpose is to promote the early maturity of the fruit and improve the yield. Red okra is more tolerant of dryness, keep the soil moist can be, but still according to soil moisture and weather changes appropriate watering...

4, pest control

Red okra is more resistant to disease, under normal conditions, the incidence of pests and diseases is not high. But encounter some force majeure or poor management, or will occur root-knot nematode disease, aphids and other pests. Therefore, it is important to do a good job in planting pests and diseases to prevent and control them. First of all, the soil is sterilized by using agents such as phoxim in soil preparation to eliminate soil pesticide residues and pathogens, regularly disinfect the field, strengthen field management, and formulate control agents to avoid the occurrence of sudden pests and diseases.

5, pay attention to the main points

In the process of planting red okra, field management is very important. Although this is some basic details of the work, but these details determine the success or failure of planting.
